Plain Language Summary

# Colorado Outdoor Recreation and Economy Act Summary **What the Bill Would Do** The Colorado Outdoor Recreation and Economy Act (S 764) is a comprehensive bill addressing environmental management and economic development across Colorado. Based on its subject matter, it appears to tackle multiple issues including forest management, renewable energy development, water resource management (dams and canals), air quality, wildlife conservation, and protection of historic sites and heritage areas. The bill likely aims to balance outdoor recreation, environmental protection, and economic development in the state. **Who It Affects** This bill would impact Colorado residents, outdoor recreation businesses and enthusiasts, energy companies, agricultural stakeholders, conservation organizations, and federal land management agencies operating in Colorado.

It could also affect Native American tribes with historic ties to Colorado lands. **Current Status** As of now, S 764 is in committee, meaning it hasn't yet been debated or voted on by the full Senate. The bill was introduced by Senator Michael Bennet (D-Colorado) in the 119th Congress. Without access to the bill's specific text, a detailed breakdown of exact provisions isn't available, but the broad subject areas suggest it addresses interconnected issues of climate, energy, conservation, and recreation economy.
